This job (if you can call it that) is extremely simple. It allows you to quickly change the Administrator (or modifiable to change any user) password.

Step 1:

  • Create a new job.
  • Add a new "Run Script"

Step 2

  • Open the run script. In the text box enter;

    net user username password

Replace username with target users name (eg. Administrator)

Replace password with target password (eg. p4ssw0rd)
net user Administrator p4ssw0rd

Simple eh?! Still a good job to have in your collection.
